Why do you use the rsaref module instead of the normal rsa module, which is already integrated in gpg 1.0.3? Maybe this comment from the rsaref.c source applies: RSAREF is limited in key size and in the coding of the encrypted data. Everything that passes through RSAREF must be coded in PCKS #1. The GPG module interface places no such restriction on the module itself, but fortunately it happens to pass PCKS #1 coded data in. It is transparently decoded and recoded as necessary. -- ir. J.C.A.
